Quick Overview

Beetroot 'Candy Stripe' (syn Chioggia).

Product Description

Beetroot 'Candy Stripe' is a beautiful deep-pink skinned, stripy pink and white fleshed beetroot has a sweet flavour. It looks spectacular in salads. Try grating it raw - so you really see the stripe. Cooked it turns a brilliant pink, fabulous in contrast to the purple and orange on the plate.
  • EASY
  • Sow: April-July
  • Seeds: 250

    Sowing: Soak seed in warm water for half an hour before sowing. Direct sow every 3-4 weeks from early March to July. Sow thinly, 5cm apart in rows 30cm apart.
    Final Thinning/Planting Distance: Thin to 10cm between plants
    Harvesting: 8-10 weeks from spring sowing. Earlier for small golf ball size. To harvest pull alternate plants down the row, in effect thinning, to leave room for remaining beetroot to develop. Remaining roots will enlarge and store for winter. Tops can be eaten at 5-8cm tall in salads.
